DESIGN REVIEW FORM (916) 630-7665

Posted on December 23, 2010 by Michael Chaffee

Developing a better understanding for the intertwined elements of design considerations should involve an organized approach to the Design Review Process. In sorting out what is to be made inclusive as a primary design objective you must first identify all of the desires within a framework that are being considered.

In some cases, simply designating portions of the project as secondary consideration or phases will easily establish the importance of each. In other cases, the construction practicalities and the efficiency economics may necessitate the sequence of events.

In drafting an outlined framework for both the proposed construction events and their individual sequence priorities, assistance should be sought by those who are most familiar with the process.

    AN OVERVIEW OF LOW VOLTAGE LANDSCAPE LIGHTING

    Posted on March 12, 2010 by nickchaffee

  • Low-Voltage Deck Lighting

    • We can design a lighting system for your outdoor living environment that will provide you with an extension of usability, enhancements to the landscape architectural design forms and an expansion of your functional usage of space. Low-voltage deck lighting can involve several styles and types of lighting fixture considerations.

  • Path Lighting

    • Is your backyard hard to navigate at night? Landscape lighting can provide your family with effective and safe navigation around your property.

    In selecting low voltage lighting fixtures it is important to keep in mind that the main objective is to provide illuminating contributions to the landscape’s function zones and architecturally relevant features. See some of our swimming pool construction for examples of low-voltage landscape lighting. Here is an example of a great classical home, improved at night with low-voltage landscape lighting.

  • Down Lighting

    • In selecting landscape lighting fixtures, consider the light’s illuminating pattern and bulb strength intensity before deciding on the aesthetic appeal of the physical characteristics of any single fixture. Although the style of a fixture’s appearance can become an attribute to the appeal of the hardscape characteristics, keep in mind that the objective is to compliment the subtle illusions that proper low-voltage lighting can provide.

  • Direct Illumination

    • To exaggerate the focus of a yard, low-voltage lighting can be used to bring out and focus on one part of the garden. When this is done, your centerpiece can become a fountain, structure, pool, flora or other hardscape features.
